It's pretty easy once you have done it a few times. Just slowly start taking it apart. Lay your screws and pieces in order or video the process. You can do it.
When you have the motor out start at the end opposite of the fan. remove the carbon brushes carefully and there are long screws under them that will release the bearing holder from the armature. Cleaning the fans is a pain. Carefully pry the fan casing apart where its fused together (I believe this is a 2 fan motor so you will have 2 sections to pry) don't pry to much because you want the casings to go back together. When you reassemble you should get some metal tape of something to hold fan case back together. If I've left anything out there are many others here who can chime in | ||

Hmmmmm, it's been years since I've had one of these apart. If I remember right you have to take motor out before the straps. I wish I had a video and or time to make one. There has to be someone on here who has done this recently. I know a few ppl I can ask and I will get back to you. We will get this thing apart ;)

You're going about it all wrong. The very first thing you need to do is remove the hood. At the switch pedal is a pin that goes all the way through. Remove the pin by pushing it out from the narrow side. Remove the pedal. You'll find two screws that hold the hood to the main body. Remove them. Above each wheel this is also a screw. Remove them. Now the wheeled base will separate from the grey motor mount. Place the fan side down, lift off the wheeled portion, and remove the four screws circling the underside of the motor. These are the mounting screws. The motor will now slip out, you can unwire it, and then you can work on the motor itself.

How is the progress going on your Eureka?
I'm just seeing the post now. You need a T20 torque driver to remove the screws colored your orange colored base to the metal bag compartment. The metal plate that separates the bag from the motor will end up being removed I believe. Definitely want to remove the bag compartment cover first like Dysonman1 mentioned. | ||
